Recent progress in translational research on neurovascular and neurodegenerative disorders
The already established and widely used intravenous application of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator as a re-opening strategy for acute vessel occlusion in ischemic stroke was recently added by mechanical thrombectomy, representing a fundamental progress in evidence-based medicine to improve the patient's outcome. This has been paralleled by a swift increase in our understanding of patho...
متن کاملBacterial plasminogen activators and receptors.
Invasive bacterial pathogens intervene at various stages and by various mechanisms with the mammalian plasminogen/plasmin system. A vast number of pathogens express plasmin(ogen) receptors that immobilize plasmin(ogen) on the bacterial surface, an event that enhances activation of plasminogen by mammalian plasminogen activators. Bacteria also influence secretion of plasminogen activators and th...
متن کاملThe Changing Landscape of Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels in Neurovascular Disorders and in Neurodegenerative Diseases
It is a common belief that voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) cannot carry toxic amounts of Ca(2+) in neurons. Also, some of them as L-type channels are essential for Ca(2+)-dependent regulation of prosurvival gene-programs. However, a wealth of data show a beneficial effect of drugs acting on VGCCs in several neurodegenerative and neurovascular diseases. In the present review, we explore se...
متن کاملPlasminogen activators and plasminogen activator inhibitors in endometriosis.
Endometriosis is one of the most frequent benign gynecological diseases that affect women. Little is known about the pathogenesis and etiology of endometriosis, despite the numerous studies performed in this field. Although endometriosis is a benign disease, the endometrial tissue, after attachment to the peritoneum, has the ability to grow and invade the surrounding tissues. Similar to neoplas...
متن کاملPlasminogen activators. The old and the new.
T hrombosis of a coronary or cerebral artery is the most common cause of mortality and morbidity in the developed nations.' The proximate cause is most often atherosclerosis, and the most appropriate intervention is its prevention. Much progress has been made in identifying the risk factors predisposing to atherosclerosis, and, perhaps because of their recognition, a significant decrease in the...
